Parameter   Description
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

lpWidths    Points to the array that receives the character width values.
            The number of elements in the array must be at least the same
            number as characters in the specified character range.
 
Return Value
 
This function returns 1 if it successfully retrieved the character widths.
Otherwise, it returns 0 on an error.
